Oh HI Andi Hey!
Whatcha doing?
Um, just beautifying Subtle.
This week on the Star Wars Show!
Andi sits down with Marvel Comics editor Jordan D. White.
We strap in for some high speed Star Wars trivia.
And much, much more.
Now from the Lucasfilm Headquarters its the Star Wars Show!
Hello I’m Peter Townley And I’m Andi Gutierrez welcome to The Star
Wars Show or as we’ll now be known as, the internet show responsible for the Anthony
Daniels “Set Decorator” credit on IMDB.
He got credit for that?!
You’ll have to watch the end of the show to find out.
Let’s go to the news.
Two brand new international posters from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story were revealed last
week and they are for lack of a better term, really pretty.
The first comes from Japan and shows Jyn Erso on the beach while the Death Star looms overhead.
The second from South Korea features the newest batch of rebels making their way down a lit
corridor with weapons drawn.
You can check out both posters for yourself on our official Facebook page.
While we may be a week away from the release of the latest issue of Marvel Star Wars in
which Han and Leia attempt to hijack a star destroyer, we have recently learned Yoda will
play an important role in the story beginning with issue 26.
During an interview with Star Wars.com, series writer Jason Aaron revealed the new story
finds Luke reading Obi-Wan’s journal, in which he learns of a mysterious and powerful
Jedi Master, a Jedi Master that just so happens to be Yoda.
Also revealed was that the story in the journal will be depicting an adventure taking place
in a pre-Phantom Menace galaxy on a planet we’ve never seen before.
You can check it out for yourself when Marvel Star Wars 26 hits shelves later this year.
I wonder if Obi-Wan's journal has anything else like secret love letters to Ventress...
Saturday night marks the long anticipated return of Star Wars Rebels to Disney XD, with
an hour-long season premier episode.
And to celebrate the return of the Ghost Crew, The Star Wars Show has managed to get
our hot little hands on an exclusive, never-before seen (Unless you were at Star Wars Celebration
Europe Rebels Panel) clip from the season premiere.
Enjoy.
You?
You!
Last time we met you were Captain of a top secret Star Destroyer.
Now you run a junkyard?
Your capture and execution will mean my return to ranking status.
Yeah, get ready for another demotion.
I’m asking nicely, unlock those bombers now.
Welcome back to the Star Wars Show, today we are joined by editor from Marvel, Jordan
D. White.
Thanks for coming by Jordan!
Its my pleasure, thanks for having me.
What exactly does a comic editor do?
I work with everyone involved in making the comics in every stage of the way.
To make sure the work is done well and on time basically.
First, i’ll work on casting the book, by coming up with who we want to work on it with
as a writer, as an artist.
I’ll talk with the writer about what should happen in it.
They’ll write a script, i’ll read it and give them notes on it and we’ll go back
and forth on it like that.
Once its a script that we can all agree on, we’ll pass it on to an artist.
They’ll turn in pencils, we’ll give notes on those if we need to.
Inks, same thing.
Color, same thing.
We bring it all together with lettering, read it, make sure it reads well and then hopefully
get it to the printer on time and out to the readers.
Which of the Star Wars series are you working on right now?
All of them?
Every single one.
So thats Star Wars, Darth Vader is just about to end, Poe Dameron, Han Solo mini series thats still going on
right now very close to finishing, theres a Force Awakens adaptation that i’m overseeing
and the unannounced secret ones that we’re working on.
I’m going to be on all those.
Whats the process like for working on a Star Wars book?
Is it different than working on other titles that you may have worked on for Marvel?
Its only different in that like I said, we work with Lucasfilm at every stage.
So overtime we get in a script, after I’ve read it and given my notes on it, we send
it to publishing here and they send it to story group and we get notes from all of them
of how we can incorporate it into the mill.
They’ll talk to us about things that are happening maybe in another media, another
movie or animation and go like, can you not do that part?
Or hey, why don’t you use this character from another story or thing that would fit
really well.
The Darth Vader series is ending it’s two year run very soon, do you have any personal
highlights from that series cause it was a really good one.
I love that series, its so wicked.
I love it because its so dark and sinister but in kind of still in a fun and funny way.
Right!
Kieron Gillen, we’ve often said we lucked out because we got an evil genius to write
this book. Recently I’ve been think a lot about the character Thanoth, Inspector
Thanoth who is this brilliant detective basically working inside the Empire, but I don’t want
to spoil too much but the scene where he confronts Darth Vader about the secrets he’s figured
out is so amazing.
I really love that scene.
Thank you so much for stopping by, super fun to talk.
Thanks so much!
Cant wait to see what you guys have in store for the future!
Wait till you read Darth Vader #25 its going to blow you away.
Awesome, and you guys stick around we’ll be back with more Star Wars Show in just a
moment.
You know Peter, its like people only do stuff to get paid.
The following segment is an ad from our friends at Verizon.
We are here at the Sonoma Raceway for the Verizon Indy car Series because someone thought
that it would be a good idea to put us on a racetrack.
Now Star Wars is all about things going fast, spaceships, pod racers, its a natural connection!
So, they’re going to strap us in and we’re gonna answer some Star Wars trivia.
What are we in for?
I love this racetrack because its very difficult to get right.
Its quite slippery.
In my experience up to 4 gs and unleash the beast inside of you.
And use the Force?
And use the Force.
Alright guys, I feel the need for some Star Wars Trivia!
Andi, is the winner of the first ever Star Wars high speed trivia challenge.
Peter, now that I beat you as a passenger, I consider it a moral victory for me but…
Next time, I want to drive.
Now THAT was podracing.
Oh hello, Cheese.
Looks like someone is a fan of their fan art.
Last week we asked to see your Cheeze fan art, since there wasn’t any that we could
find on the internet, and thanks to the greatest fans on the planet we remedied that problem!
It looks like we got drawings of Cheese as actual cheese, lots of Cheese in love with
Cheese, and even an Admiral Ackbar reminding cheese that stray chunks of swiss on the floor
can only mean one thing: IT’S A TRAP!
This week with the return of Rebels we’re going a little more coffeehouse with our request,
and want to see your reactions to the season premier…but as a haiku.
And incase you forgot that one week in English class that covered poetry, a haiku is: First
line 5 syllables, second line seven, and last line 5.
Here, I’ll do one: Grand Admiral Thrawn
Is back on Star Wars Rebels I am Excited
Submit your poetic reactions to #Haiku4Hera and we’ll read our favorites here next week.
